Product Information
Rear lid dumper
The Genuine Porsche Rear Lid Damper (Part Number: 98151255107) is an original equipment gas-filled support strut designed for Porsche Cayman models, specifically for vehicles without a rear window wiper (Option Code: 426). Also known as a rear tailgate gas strut or rear hatch support, this component helps lift and securely support the rear lid when opened, providing smooth and controlled operation.
Sold individually. Two dampers are required per vehicle when replacing both left and right sides. Replacing both together is recommended when they have weakened with age.

Fits:
Porsche 981C Cayman 2014 - 2016
Porsche 982C (718) Cayman 2017 >>
 * for cars without rear window wiper (option code: 426)

Manufactured to Porsche's original specifications, the damper offers precise fitment, reliable lifting assistance and long-lasting performance. It is an ideal replacement for worn or weakened original gas struts, restoring convenient and safe access to the rear luggage compartment.

This part replaces the earlier Porsche part numbers 98151255103 and 98151255105.

What Does This Part Do? – Functions
  • Lid Support: Holds the rear lid securely in the open position.
  • Lifting Assistance: Reduces the effort required to open the rear hatch.
  • Controlled Movement: Provides smooth and stable lid operation.
  • Safety: Helps prevent the rear lid from closing unexpectedly.
  • Original Fitment: Maintains factory-correct operation and installation.

Why Replace This Part?
Over time, rear lid gas dampers can lose pressure due to ageing, frequent operation and temperature changes. A weakened damper may struggle to support the rear hatch, causing it to close unexpectedly or become difficult to lift.

Replacing a worn damper with a genuine Porsche component restores proper lifting assistance, secure lid support and smooth operation, helping maintain safety and everyday convenience.

When to Replace This Part?
  • Weak Support: Rear lid struggles to remain open.
  • Unexpected Closing: Hatch slowly lowers or drops without warning.
  • Difficult Opening: Increased effort required to lift the lid.
  • Visible Damage: Bent, corroded or leaking gas strut.
  • Worn Performance: Reduced lifting assistance or inconsistent operation.

Where Does It Fit on the Car?
Location: Rear body – rear hatch / tailgate assembly.

The gas-filled damper is fitted between the rear hatch and the vehicle body, supporting the lid during opening and closing.

It is suitable for installation on either the left-hand or right-hand side of the vehicle.
